Springtime
Planting radish seeds
Diligently watering
Carefully caring
Emerging
Peeking through the rich soil
Flourishing
Enticing honeybees
Gently buzzing
Hypnotic
In the morning sun
Drifting and dancing
Nectar drinking
Slurping with a diligent passion
Summertime daily delight
Peaceful mediations
For the grateful
Spirit.
